The Power of the Prince

Move over Rickey Henderson, there is a new speedster in town. Prince Fielder, yes the same Prince Fielder that is a hero to the big guys all over. According to ESPN.com Fielder is listed at 6 foot tall and 262 pounds.

Two different times this week, the large son of Cecil has beaten out plays at the plate. Ask any catcher in Major League Baseball if they want to block the plate when that train is coming and they most likely will say "no way." After a good rookie year, last year, Fielder is starting to star for the improving Brewers. Fielders has already been named NL Player of the week and his is currently hitting .295 with 10 HR and 29 RBIS.

Fielder has been in the public since he was in middle school. Fielder was once the spokesperson along with his father for the McDonalds triple cheeseburger, and appeared with his father MTV's Rock and Jock Softball game.
